Agentgates´s TPU setup with strange wavehill hump

@darkspeed,

Why the angry face? Just Google 4017 data sheet and download pdf.

Tony made it clear that the primary winding needs to be much thinner that the secondary..

We all want to put our own take on this .I know

Its great you have seen some effect

Please replicate using the  paramaters given

@Mannix,

Did not have any parameters when I made my first coil. I only had the first
text description. Later on he posted information that the primary must be
thin wire. Will follow this story closely.

@ magluvin & groundloop,

anthony said that the pulses were supposed to be very short, probably 10% or even 1% duty cycle would be enough.
With the 4017, using outputs 0, 2 and 4 would give a duty cycle of 1/6, or 16%.
You could put 2 (or more) 4017 in series to reduce the duty cycle more.
Or you could put a small RC network in series with the outputs of the 4017 to generate short pulses at each leading edge.

@ magluvin,
yes I agree it could be woven flat.
We must also know if the secondary wires have to pass exactly right over the crossings of the primary, or if just being in the proximity is enough.
We will also have to find out what effects the form factor has on the performance; Is it better to make it long and narrow, or flat and large in diameter ?

Lots of fun coming up.

@altair,

You could probably spread the output even more on the 4017.
